Dessert at the Cranky’s

Dessert at the Cranky’s

Mrs. Cranky
and I had dinner tonight from Boston Market.We both love a half chicken, mashed potatoes, corn and their corn
muffins.Mrs. C did the pick-up run.

“Don’t get a dessert, you always get
their brownies and I’m fat enough!”

“OK.”

Mrs. C had
to first pick up the step-crank and drop him off where his car had been
serviced.He works at “The Cheesecake
Factory.”

Anyway.

After dinner
our conversation went like this:

“I have a surprise; do you want it
now or later?”

“What is it?”

“Dessert.”

“I said no dessert.”

“OK, if you don’t want it.”

“What did you get?”

(Keep in
mind now, it turns out she brought home cheesecake.)

“What did you get?”

“I left it out.”

(Please take
note she could have said, “Cheesecake” but instead chose to say, “I. Left. It.
Out.”)

“What is it?”

“It’s in the bag.”

(Still, can
you just say “Cheesecake?”)

“What bag?”

“On the counter, do you ever notice
anything?”

(Mrs. C, aka
Sherlock, of courses never misses anything new in the house.)

“Which counter?”

“Holy crap! By the refrigerator.”

(Still, can
you just say “Cheesecake?”)

“The bag that says “The Cheesecake
Factory?”

“Yes!”

“What’s in it, why do I have to get
up and look, why can’t you just friggin tell me what you got for dessert that I
don’t need because I’m fat?”

“Guess.”

“Just tell me.Never mind...I’ll get up...

walk over...
and look for myself…

Cheesecake!”

“Imagine that. Jerk!”

“Like it would have been so hard to
just say, ‘Cheesecake’?”

“Maybe if you would pull your head
out of your ass you wouldn’t even have to ask!”

I'm not sure of the significance of this but here I tend to think my conversational style and sense of humorous entitlement is more akin to Mrs. Cranky's. Maybe that what gets me reprimanded so often.....:(

At our house we would have spent more time eating that cheesecake than arguing about it. But things aren't always smooth here at Casa de Chatterbox. Mrs. C. just went to work angry because she'd asked me for the forth time if I was going to do something today. I commented that she'd already asked, and off to work she went, mad. I could use a slice of cheesecake right now!

That would be deadly to have a family member work at the Cheesecake Factory. Here they have the calories listed by the cheesecakes on the menu (all foods here have to have how many calories either on the menus or somewhere where people can look at it if the want to know how much they are eating). It kind of takes the fun away from eating a piece knowing how many calories you are eating, but they sure are delicious!

Comment on my book

"Got your book, been reading it and enjoying it, but had to tell you that the last piece I just read, 'The Great George Garbageboatwalk,' is as fine a piece of nostalgic writing as I've come across this year."
